I offer that little WikiLeaks freak from the U.S. Army -- I believe "his" name is PFC Manning -- as Exhibit A on that point.
I doubt very seriously that PFC Manning is the real source of the leaked documents on WIKILEAKS.
Actually, we don’t know that for sure yet. I don’t think the whole story is out.
On one level, as other posters have stated, the homosexual personality which is overly self-centered and geared towards personal gratification and impulsive action, is just one facet. This could have happened with a straight person, but...it is less likely.
DADT was effective, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. Even when I was in back in the Seventies before DADT, there was no such thing as anyone who even let on they were homosexual, even though everyone knows there were or must have been.
If two guys were caught slurping on each other on active duty, they would have been gone in a heartbeat, no questions asked. I don’t believe they would have even been kept around for Captain’s Mast. There wasn’t even an undercurrent of homosexuality.
Even the suspicion was damaging to morale, never mind anything more.
